~The Serpent People~
Aanmitaagzi is excited to invite the community to explore their newest work “The Serpent People” (working title), based on a regional story about the black sturgeon of the Manitou Islands: a story of transformation, change, consumption and loss within the individual, family, and community.
Through dance, theatre, mask making, installation, painting, drawing, writing, soundscape, and music, we will explore questions like:
- How does what we consume transform us?
- What is the nature of what we take in?
- What lurks in our shadows?
- What are we running from?
- What are we running towards?
Material developed in these workshops will contribute to Aanmitaagzi’s production of “The Serpent People” on Lake Nipissing for Ice Follies 2016 in February.
